The problem with that is, not everyone is as boring as you, risk feels good.

Look at all these kids killing each other on London streets? They're all infatuated with money, cars, watches, bracelets - the power of wealth.
I could afford it, but not as a regular hobby and personally I don't think it is worth it as I am a fussy eater. Al likes his food, so a good choice for him. Me, not so much.

It's not about being boring either. For me it is about moderation. I used to be a serious social animal and would blow through money like there is no tomorrow. However that too gets boring over time and your liver won't respect you.

And watches and bling? That is more Walrus and good for him too. For me, I just like nice scenery, a good book, and a nice cup of the finest quality ginseng tea.
